Established: 2023-05-11

Established by: Department of Engineering Science

Applies from: V24

Learning outcomes

After completing the course the student should be able to:

• demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how welding process parameters affect the welding result and how the welder can influence the process.
• identify and remedy problems that occur during welding operations.
• demonstrate practical knowledge and ability to perform welding operations with different welding methods such as GMAW, FCAW, MMA, TIG and oxy-gas.

Entry requirements

General entry requirements and approved result from the following course/courses:

SJL600-Welding Metallurgy of Iron-based Alloys and

ASP700-Advanced Welding Processes or the equivalent.

The forms of assessment of student performance

Individual oral exam. Laboratory works in groups.

Course contents

The course covers how health and safety risks can be handled during welding. The course consists of practical exercises in the form of welding laboratories for the processes of oxy-gas welding, Gas Metal Arc welding (GMAW) and Flux Cored Arc welding (FCAW), Manual Metal Arc welding (MMA) and Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG).

Further, welding and welding-related processes such as brazing, plasma welding, submerged arc welding, friction welding, laser welding, electron beam welding and resistance welding are covered in the course. The focus is on the execution of the welding operation and the effect of different process parameters on the weld quality.
